Coming to you from Christopher Frost, this great video review looks at the new Irix 21mm f/1.4 Dragonfly lens. Although it is made for Canon EF, Nikon F, and Pentax K mounts, with manual focus only, you can easily adapt this lens to any mirrorless camera without worry. about the loss of autofocus performance. Irix says this lens is specifically designed for the latest generation of high-resolution full-frame sensors, providing high levels of sharpness, extremely low levels of distortion, and low levels of coma. And with 140-degree focusing, it makes dialing in precise focus relatively easy, while the rounded 11-blade aperture contributes to smoother bokeh. Overall, it looks like a pretty decent lens. Check out the video above for Frost’s full thoughts, and look it up relatively early.
